Theo (Faye) Nangala Hudson is a young up and coming artist from the Warlukurlangu Art Centre in the Northern Territory. Not only do we sell a number of her original artworks but we also have some beautiful Australian made products featuring her amazing designs.

This authentic Aboriginal artwork from Yuendumu in the Northern Territory makes a special Australian gift. 

The Indigenous artist Theo (Faye) Nangala Hudson was born in 1989 in Alice Springs Hospital, the closest hospital to Nyirripi, a remote Aboriginal community located 440 km north-west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia where her parents lived. She was born to Mika and Ursula Napangardi Hudson and has older twin brothers. Theo attended the local school until she was 14 years.  When she left school she did odd jobs and later joined the Nyirripi Night Patrol, a service that provides safe transportation; diversion from contact with the criminal justice system;  and intervention to prevent disorder in communities. Theo is married and has five children.

Theo began painting with the Warlukurlangu Art Centre  in 2002, when she was 13 years of age. “I would watch my Grandmother paint and listen to her stories”. She began to paint in earnest with the art centre in 2006. Theo uses an unrestricted palette and loves to create patterns that depict a modern interpretation of her traditional culture.
